In the Spirit

It’s hard to be otherwise around here, despite breath-taking cold with some ice tossed in. In the middle of a busy, scattered week, we took a little time off for fun, and a new tradition.

BW and I invited the employees of our Boonsboro businesses to a little progressive holiday shopping. It’s a good, happy way to gather other busy people together, make connections, and let everyone see what the other businesses have to offer.

Just add wine and camaraderie.

Weekend Countdown

While I always get an early jump on the holidays, I invariably end up squeezing bunches into the last couple weekends before Christmas.

I don’t mind so much. I have an agenda, and it usually works.

It even works, usually, when life–as is will–tosses out extra stuff. Right now, we’re in the process of redoing the backroom of Vesta, transforming it into more of a loungey, cozy feel with sofas and chairs, board games, new lights. New paint, new art. This means those sofas, chairs, tables, lights...

Island of Glass discussion thread

You’ve waited and waited and waited some more and now, finally, Island of Glass is in stores or on your e-reader. (Remember when you didn’t even know what this trilogy was about???)

How will you approach the final installment of the Guardian’s Trilogy?

Once you’ve finished Island of Glass, this is the place to discuss anything and everything that pertains to the book and the series as a whole. Spoilers very much ahead.

Have fun!

New Directions

A long time ago, on a hilltop far, far away, I started writing category Romance. With two pre-schoolers to run herd on, I fed my appetite for reading with short, satisfying Romances I could gulp down during nap time. So when stuck with said pre-schoolers inside for a week during a blizzard, I began to scribble down one of the stories in my head in a notebook. It was intended to save my sanity, and became a career and a passion.

Writing Harlequin-style Romances was a natural choice as I gobble...

The Register — 11/11/16

Only a few things to report this Veteran’s Day.

First, thank you to our veterans. As I posted on Facebook this morning, some of the most wonderful, poignant and gratifying emails are from members of the military and their families thanking Nora for the difference her books make in getting through the strains of deployment.

Second, despite the fact we’re all so weary of the voting process in the US, here’s something you can endorse:

The Obsession and Brotherhood In Death made it into the semi...

The Register – 11/4/16

For the rest of the year, Iplan to compile a weekly round up ofsocial media goings on, photos that appeal to me and tidbits of info that just don’t fit into other posts. So, not a Cranky Publicist post (like the one I’ve drafted in my head about how can you be an In Death fan if you misspell Roarke???) but a neater way to keep you all filled in on what’s new and what’s not.

First up: the Inn BoonsBoro package featuring an Evening with Nora sold out within hours. I’m pretty sure if it goes smo...

New Package at Inn BoonsBoro

I know some blog readersaren’t on Facebook or other social media so I thought I’d post the newest package at Inn BoonsBoro here too.

An Evening with Nora

Yes, Nora will leave the Fortress of Silence for an evening of questions/answers/wine/laughter/whatever else you want. In my opinion, there is noplace cozier than Inn BoonsBoro on a winter evening.

You might even get a glimpse of the Cranky Publicist.
